That’s how it always starts! My husband and I decide we need to relax and eat dinner in front of the tv. We say “let’s watch a movie” and start scrolling through the carousel on Netflix. It goes a little something like this:
Charlie: Is there any new episodes of anything we watch?
Me: Yes, Orange is the New Black
Charlie: Eh, not right now.
Me: Oh look, there’s Transformers Age of Extinction, we’re really far behind on Transformers, though, aren’t we?
Charlie: I don’t even remember what the first one was about. Expendables 3 looks good.
Me: I haven’t seen #1.
Charlie: I haven’t seen 1 or 2, but it still looks good. Oh! They have Rocky!! Yay! They have Rocky!
Me: You can watch that on your own time. You’ve seen Rocky before, haven’t you?
Charlie: You know I wasn’t allowed to watch movies like that when I was younger.
Me: Fine, we’ll watch Rocky, but don’t be offended if I sit here and read a book while you watch.
In the meantime I had finished eating my food 10 minutes into the conversation of what to watch!
Of course as soon as Rocky was over I threw on Alias for a rest of the day marathon.
Why is it the kids have no problems with picking a movie to watch? They were so excited to see Penguins of Madagascar: the movie and Dragons: Race to the Edge.
Do you and your spouse have issues picking a movie to watch together? I generally watch a TV series now, from start to end instead of a movie. I am interested in movies that I’ve read the books while my husband likes to watch war movies and documentaries.
